From PRNewsWire: TSI Healthcare announced today that
nineteen (19) of their physician practices had attested to successfully meeting
“Meaningful Use” requirements of their ONC-ATCB Certified NextGen™ Electronic
Health Records (EHR) Systems. These providers completed data collection last
year and participated in the 2011 Stage 1 reporting period for the Federal
Government sponsored EHR Incentives program.
These Clients represent the first round of TSI Healthcare’s clients expected
to participate in the program during the 2011 and 2012 reporting periods.
“The impossible has become a reality. Even with all the encouragement that money is
being paid by the Federal Government, we were skeptical. However, the check in
the bank is proof that anything is possible,” wrote Dr. Vic Khemsara, an
ophthalmologist at Summit Eye Care in Winston Salem, NC. Khemsara continues, “…a special thank you
goes out to TSI Healthcare’s team who literally held our hands throughout this
process.”
Another recipient of the
Government Funds includes Yuma District Hospital & Clinics in Yuma,
Colorado. Jason Hawley, Director of
Information Services at Yuma Hospital, shared similar sentiments, “From the
Help Desk staff to the President’s office, everyone at TSI Healthcare has
played a role in helping us reach Meaningful Use. We could not have achieved this without their
support and dedication to our success.”
The practices completing
attestation include a variety of specialties with wide ranges of
experience. Some of the TSI Healthcare
qualifying practices have just recently completed implementations while others
have over seven (7) years of NextGen™ EHR experience. To date, TSI Healthcare Clients have secured
over $100,000 in incentive payments and an additional $294,000 is expected to
be paid to Clients over the coming weeks.
TSI Healthcare’s approach to “Meaningful
Use” is unique to the EHR industry. In
addition to providing hands-on assistance unique to each practice, TSI
Healthcare’s Providers are encouraged to take part in TSI Healthcare’s
Meaningful Use Readiness Analysis™. This
custom program examines their NextGen™ system utilization, provides a
practice-specific roadmap to attainment, and educates the practice on the
various aspects of the EHR Incentives program.
“We could not be more
thrilled for our Clients who have achieved Meaningful Use and who are already
receiving the financial rewards of this program,” said David Dickson, Jr.,
President and CEO of TSI Healthcare. “These
benefits are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team and
our Clients’ commitment to a new way of practicing medicine and taking care of
patients.”
